Today, I briefly go over the mechanical and design evolutions of the Porsche Cayenne over its first three generations. Emphases will be given to drivetrain and engine choice.

Today, we briefly examine the three main types of liner-less cylinder treatment methods that originated from Germany, Nikasil, Alusil, and Lokasil, and their variants.

Today, I compare the Mercedes-AMG M156 6.2L V8, the Maserati F136Y 4.7L V8, and the BMW S65B40 4.0L V8 across seven aspects. These engines use equivalent technologies but differ appreciably in their design goals.

Self-driving cars have three major safety concerns: algorithm and computing power, electronics equipment, and network security. Today, I briefly explain each of them.

Today, I compare the design of the Nissan VR38DETT found in the R35 GT-R and the Alfa Romeo 690T found in Quadrifoglio models along six aspects: engine block, bank angle & crankshaft, oil pump, displacement & stroke ratio, fuelling, and valve timing.

Today, I compare the designs of the BMW S58B30 and of the Toyota 2JZ-GTE in eight aspects from the bottom up, including block, bearing, oil pump, stroke ratio, piston and conrod, fuelling, air flow, and valve timing.

Today, I compare five modern high gear-count RWD automatic transmissions in terms of their similarities and differences in design. They are Aisin’s 8-speed, Ford-GM 10-speed, Hyundai 8-speed, Mercedes 9G-Tronic, and ZF 8HP.

Today, I rank six V8 diesel engines made this century for passenger cars. This means no truck engines.

Today, I talk about nine of the most stunning post-war American sedans judged by me ordered by the cars' production years.

Today, I briefly talk about each of the twelve most stunning post-war European sedans judged by me.

Today, I rank ten 12-cylinder engines from six manufacturers that have been in series production this century.

Today, I rank all six (or eight) V10 engines ever in production for use in road cars.
